Agenda 07/08/2014 Item #16D157/8/2014 16.D.15.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Master Contract with Area Agency on Aging of Southwest
Florida, Inc. for Federal- and State - funded Services for Seniors programs.
OBJECTIVE: To provide uninterrupted support services to Collier County Services for
Seniors' elderly clients.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Housing, Human, and Veteran Services Department's Services for
Seniors program has provided support to Collier County's frail and elderly citizens for over
thirty -two years through Federal and State of Florida grants. These grants include the Federal
Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III -B, III -E, III -Cl, and III -C2 programs, and the Florida
Community Care for the Elderly (CCE), Alzheimer's Disease Initiative (ADI), and Home Care
for the Elderly (HCE) programs. These programs are funded by the Florida Department of Elder
Affairs (DOEA) through the Area Agency on Aging of Southwest Florida, Inc. ( "Agency "), and
provide for services that enable clients to remain in their homes and live with independence and
dignity.
Historically, the Agency provided separate standard contracts for the Federal and the State
grants. The Agency has now provided a Master Contract which establishes standard terms and
conditions for services for both the Federal and the State grant programs. This is a three -year
contract effective July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017.
On January 22, 2013, the Board approved a standard contract and budget for the Federal OAA
grant program (Agenda item 16D5). The current contract will expire on December 31, 2014.
Upon execution, the proposed Master Contract will supersede this agreement, with a term as
described above. The Master Contract proposes no change to the budget. Any future change to
the budget will be presented to the Board for consideration.
On July 24, 2014, the Board approved a contract extension for the State - funded CCE, ADI, and
HCE grant programs (Agenda item 16D17). The extension provided for an agreement
termination date of July, 24, 2014. Upon execution, the proposed Master Contract will supersede
this agreement, with a term as described above. The Agency anticipates providing contract
amendments detailing the funding allocations for these grants within thirty days; funding
allocations are historically provided on an annual basis for each grant program.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no new fiscal impact associated with this contract. Funding for
each individual program resides in the Grants Management System Human Services Grant Fund
707 and Human Services Match Fund 708.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Master Contract is a standard form provided by the
Agency. This item is legally sufficient and requires a majority vote for Board action. —JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
action.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST
I. Describe the geographic service area such as a district, county, city or other locality. If the program /facility
serves a specific target population such as adolescents, describe the target population. Also, define the type of
service provided.
2. Enter the percent of the population served by race and sex. The population served includes persons in the
geographical area for which services are provided such as a city, county or other regional area. Population
statistics can be obtained from local chambers of commerce, libraries, or any publication from the 1980 Census
containing Florida population statistics. Include the source of your population statistics. ( "Other" races include
Asian /Pacific Islanders and American Indian /Alaskan Natives.)
3. Enter the total number of full -time staff and their percent by race, sex and disability. Include the effective date of
your summary.
4. Enter the total number of clients who are enrolled, registered or currently served by the program or facility, and
list their percent by race, sex and disability. Include the date that enrollment was counted.
5. Enter the total number of advisory board members and their percent by race, sex, and disability. If there is no
advisory or governing board, leave this section blank.
Each recipient of federal financial assistance must have on file an assurance that the program will be conducted in
compliance with all nondiscriminatory provisions as required in 45 CFR 80. This is usually a standard part of the
contract language for DOEA recipients and their sub - grantees, 45 CFR 80.4 (a).
Is the race, sex, and national origin of the staff reflective of the general population? For example, if 10% of the
population is Hispanic, is there a comparable percentage of Hispanic staff?
8. Where there is a significant variation between the race, sex or ethnic composition of the clients and their
availability in the population, the program/facility has the responsibility to determine the reasons for such
variation and take whatever action may be necessary to correct any discrimination. Some legitimate disparities
may exist when programs are sanctioned to serve target populations such as elderly or disabled persons, 45 CFR
80.3 (b) (6).
9. Do eligibility requirements unlawfully exclude persons in protected groups from the provision of services or
employment? Evidence of such may be indicated in staff and client representation (Questions 3 and 4) and also
through on -site record analysis of persons who applied but were denied services or employment, 45 CFR 80.3 (a)
and 45 CFR 80.1 (b) (2).
10. Participants or clients must be provided services such as medical, nursing and dental care, laboratory services,
physical and recreational therapies, counseling and social services without regard to race, sex, color, national
origin, religion, age or disability. Courtesy titles, appointment scheduling and accuracy of record keeping must be
applied uniformly and without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age or disability. Entrances,
waiting rooms, reception areas, restrooms and other facilities must also be equally available to all clients, 45 CFR
80.3 (b).
11. For in- patient services, residents must be assigned to rooms, wards, etc., without regard to race, color, national
origin or disability. Also, residents must not be asked whether they are willing to share accommodations with
persons of a different race, color, national origin, or disability, 45 CFR 80.3 (a).
12. The program /facility and all services must be accessible to participants and applicants, including those persons
who may not speak English. In geographic areas where a significant population of non - English speaking people
live, program accessibility may include the employment of bilingual staff. In other areas, it is sufficient to have a
�I

policy or plan for service, such as a current list of names and telephone numbers of bilingual individuals who will
assist in the provision of services, 45 CFR 80.3 (a).
13. Programs /facilities must make information regarding the nondiscriminatory provisions of Title VI available to
their participants, beneficiaries or any other interested parties. This should include information on their right to
file a complaint of discrimination with either the Florida Department of Elder Affairs or the U.S. Department of
HHS. The information may be supplied verbally or in writing to every individual, or may be supplied through the
use of an equal opportunity policy poster displayed in a public area of the facility, 45 CFR 80.6 (d).
14. Report number of discrimination complaints filed against the prograrn/facility. Indicate the basis, e.g., race, color,
creed, sex, age, national origin, disability, retaliation; the issues involved, e.g., services or employment,
placement, termination, etc. Indicate the civil rights law or policy alleged to have been violated along with the
name and address of the local, state or federal agency with whom the complaint has been fled. Indicate the
current status, e.g., settled, no reasonable cause found, failure to conciliate, failure to cooperate, under review, etc.
15. The program /facility must be physically accessible to disabled individuals. Physical accessibility includes
designated parking areas, curb cuts or level approaches, ramps and adequate widths to entrances. The lobby,
public telephone, restroom facilities, water fountains, information and admissions offices should be accessible.
Door widths and traffic areas of administrative offices, cafeterias, restrooms, recreation areas, counters and
serving lines should be observed for accessibility. Elevators should be observed for door width, and Braille or
raised numbers. Switches and controls for light, heat, ventilation, fire alarms, and other essentials should be
installed at an appropriate height for mobility impaired individuals.
16. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that a recipient of federal financial assistance conduct a
self - evaluation to identify any accessibility barriers. Self- evaluation is a four step process:
a. With the assistance of a disabled individual /organization, evaluate current practices and policies which do
not comply with Section 504.
b. Modify policies and practices that do not meet Section 504 requirements.
c. Take remedial steps to eliminate any discrimination that has been identified.
d. Maintain self - evaluation on file. (This checklist may be used to satisfy this requirement if these four steps
have been followed.), 45 CFR 84.6.
17. Programs or facilities that employ 15 or more persons must adopt grievance procedures that incorporate

action prohibited by Section 504.45 CFR 84.7 (b).

impaired sensory, manual or speaking skills where necessary. Auxiliary aids may include, but are not limited to,
interpreters for hearing impaired individuals, taped or Braille materials, or any alternative resources that can be
used to provide equally effective services, 45 CFR 84.52 (d).
21. Programs /facilities with 50 or more employees and $50,000.00 in federal contracts must develop, implement and
maintain a written affirmative action compliance program in accordance with Executive Order 11246, 41 CFR 60
and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
